Score Fighting Series 6 takes place Oct. 19 at RBC Centre in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. The evening’s main card airs on AXS TV.

“The Score Fighting Series looks to showcase dynamic young fighters and to create the most exciting matchups possible,” Score Fighting Series promoter Brendan Fyfe stated. “This fight fits the bill on both counts. In Chris and Kalvin we have two guys who are more than willing to stand and trade, which is always a recipe for action.”

A Louisiana native, Hackney fights for the first time since a June win over Booker Arthur. The result snapped a two-fight losing streak Hackney endured while competing for Bellator.

Meanwhile, Canadian Horodecki comes to the promotion after a three-fight stint under the Bellator banner. Just 24 years old, Horodecki also boasts big-show experience with the now-defunct WEC and IFL promotions.

For this fight, Horodecki said he’s expecting a fun scrap, but he intends to defend his home-field advantage.

“Hackney is coming to my backyard, and he’ll be looking for the win, but I’m not going to let that happen,” Horodecki stated. “He’s going to be a tough opponent. He’s athletic and strong and comes forward with a very aggressive style. But I’m ready for whatever he’s got.”

Score Fighting Series also announced a preliminary matchup between Canadian welterweights Josh Taveirne (2-3) and Brett Biederman (1-3) for the October event.

The man known for cranking submissions to the point of injury added eye-gouging to his repertoire. But is the controversy of Rousimar Palhares too essential to his bizarre, awful appeal for his employers to take any meaningful action against him?
